Tech Data Reports Fiscal 2009 Third-Quarter Results

Net sales of $6.1 billion grew 3.6 percent year-over-year; Completed $100

million share repurchase program

CLEARWATER, FL. — Tech Data Corporation, a leading distributor of IT products, today announced results for its fiscal 2009 third quarter ended October 31, 2008.

Results At A Glance

($ in millions, except per share amounts)	Three months ended October 31, 2008		Three months ended October 31, 2007
Net sales	$	6,136.1	$	5,923.8
Operating income	$	59.1	$	59.5
Net income	$	18.4	$	40.9
Net income per diluted share	$	.37	$	.73

Net sales for the third quarter ended October 31, 2008 were $6.1 billion, an increase of 3.6 percent from $5.9 billion in the prior-year period. Operating income for the third quarter totaled $59.1 million, or .96 percent of net sales. This compared to operating income of $59.5 million, or 1.01 percent of net sales in the third quarter of fiscal 2008.

Third quarter net income totaled $18.4 million, or $.37 per diluted share compared to $40.9 million, or $.73 per diluted share for the prior-year period. Results for the third-quarter of fiscal 2009 include a net foreign currency exchange loss of $23.5 million. This compared to a net foreign currency exchange gain of $2.4 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2008.

While the impact of foreign currency changes is generally not significant to the company’s operating results, extreme foreign currency volatility during the third quarter, particularly in the month of October, created a challenging environment. The primary factor contributing to the foreign currency exchange loss was the use of certain portions of inventory as a hedge against foreign currency exposures in accounts payable. During the third quarter, the company recovered a portion of the foreign currency exchange loss through gross profit and expects to recover additional amounts in subsequent periods as the related inventory is sold. To the extent foreign currencies remain volatile and the market conditions competitive, there can be no assurance as to the amount that could be realized through gross profit. Approximately three-quarters of the $23.5 million foreign currency exchange loss recorded in the third quarter of fiscal 2009 was associated with the European region.

“The challenges of the macro-economic environment and accompanying competitive conditions tested Tech Data on many fronts during the third quarter. We were pleased with our overall execution as validated by our sales and operating income performance in the Americas and Europe, but the unprecedented volatility in certain foreign currencies dampened our bottom line results,” stated Robert M. Dutkowsky, Tech Data’s chief executive officer. “Our targeted investments are reinforcing our value-proposition in the marketplace and resulting in even stronger relationships with our customers and vendor partners. The business fundamentals and financial strength of Tech Data remain solid, and we believe that these strengths, along with our disciplined approach to containing costs and managing our working capital, will serve us well in the current environment and ready us for the long-term market opportunity.”

Third-Quarter Financial Summary

• Net sales in the Americas (including North America and Latin America) were $2.8 billion, or 45 percent of worldwide net sales, representing a decrease of 3.9 percent compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2008. Net sales in Europe totaled $3.3 billion, or 55 percent of worldwide net sales, representing an increase of 10.6 percent (9.7 percent increase on a euro basis) over the third quarter of fiscal 2008.

• Gross margin for the third quarter of fiscal 2009 was 4.86 percent compared to 4.79 percent in the prior-year third quarter. The company’s disciplined inventory and sales management practices as well as a positive impact from the foreign currency fluctuations have been contributing factors in sustaining a relatively stable gross margin performance, partially offset by competitive market conditions, particularly in the Americas region.

• Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) were $238.9 million, or 3.90 percent of net sales compared to $224.2 million, or 3.78 percent of net sales in the third quarter of fiscal 2008. The increase in SG&A expenses was attributable to a general increase in operating expenses to support sales growth in Europe, the company’s acquisition of certain assets of Nordic-based Scribona AB during the second quarter of fiscal 2009 and the continued investments in various strategic initiatives.

• Operating income in the Americas was $38.8 million, or 1.41 percent of net sales compared to $44.2 million, or 1.54 percent of net sales in the third quarter of fiscal 2008 and 1.41 percent in the second quarter of fiscal 2009. In Europe, the company generated operating income of $23.4 million, or .69 percent of net sales compared to operating income of $17.8 million, or .58 percent of net sales in the third quarter of fiscal 2008. Consulting and integration costs related to the May 2008 acquisition of certain assets of Nordic-based Scribona AB totaled $0.5 million (approximately .02 percent of Europe’s net sales) in the third quarter of fiscal 2009. Stock-based compensation expense is not included in the regional segment reporting results. These expenses are presented as a separate reconciling item in the company’s segment reporting (see “Supplementary Information” table attached).

• Cash used in operations for the third quarter of fiscal 2009 totaled $37.1 million. The company continues to enjoy excellent liquidity and financial flexibility with a cash position of $385.2 million at October 31, 2008.

• During the third quarter of fiscal 2009, the company repurchased approximately 500,000 shares of common stock at a cost of $16.9 million, completing the company’s $100 million share repurchase program initiated in June 2008.

Nine-month Results

Net sales for the nine-month period ended October 31, 2008 were $18.4 billion, an increase of 8.4 percent from $16.9 billion in the nine-month period ended October 31, 2007. On a regional basis, net sales in the Americas represented 45 percent of net sales and decreased 0.1 percent to $8.26 billion from $8.27 billion in the prior-year period. Europe represented 55 percent of net sales and increased 16.6 percent (5.7 percent on a euro basis) to $10.1 billion from $8.7 billion for the nine-month period ended October 31, 2007.

For the nine-month period ended October 31, 2008, based upon Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), the company recorded operating income of $143.6 million, or .78 percent of net sales, including $7.5 million (approximately .04 percent of net sales) in consulting and integration costs related to the acquisition of certain assets of Nordic-based Scribona AB, compared with operating income of $115.9 million, or .68 percent of net sales, in the prior-year period. Excluding $13.1 million of loss on disposal of subsidiaries and $16.1 million in restructuring charges, non-GAAP operating income⁽¹⁾ totaled $145.2 million, or .86 percent of net sales for the nine-month period ended October 31, 2007.

The company recorded net income of $65.0 million, or $1.25 per diluted share, for the nine-month period ended October 31, 2008 including $7.5 million (no income tax benefit) in consulting and integration costs related to the acquisition of certain assets of Nordic-based Scribona AB. This compared to net income of $58.1 million, or $1.05 per diluted share, in the prior-year period. On a non-GAAP basis, excluding the loss on disposal of subsidiaries and restructuring charges, net income for the nine-month period ended October 31, 2007 was $86.6 million, or $1.56 per diluted share.

Business Outlook

In light of the challenges surrounding the current macro-economic environment combined with volatility in certain foreign currencies, the company does not believe that it would be prudent to continue providing net sales or tax rate guidance.
